I'm also curious as to why Geralt looks so much older but Triss looks almost exactly as she did 10 years ago. Do the books say sorcerers are long-lived?

Able to magically control their appearance, yes. However the sequel takes place almost immediately after the events in the first game. The improvement in Geralt's appearance is just that - an improvement, not an attempt to portray additional passage of time.
